i was browsing around in mudah, probably price for sata has increase. Elora brand not so easy to find in jb, mostly now days either unknown china brand and mr.mark is ample. So far tried Sata and Toptul not bad their quality. Getting trolly set, my dream la. want to Diy must have complete tools

Nowdays most tools are made in china, even sata is manufacture in china, heck expensive brand like SnapOn also manufacture in China already. With good QC and material i think it will still be topnotch...

ni Masonry/Concrete Drilling...

ot till hand tools pulak...

for the average DIYer who wana save...
the MR DIY good nuff dy..

even most car workshop don use very expensive branded tools..

most useful size is 8 10 12 13 14 17 19 21... maybe 15...

the rest will just be "use less" most of the time.....

Really depend what type of car. Some car use Torx more. Tools can also be use in powertool there is this SDS-Plus-1/2" Socket Drive you can buy. And some DIY hardcore have more tools than workshop I have a friend with air pump at home too

I break some socket and spanner from the china unknown brand before. Especially size 14, and 17 that I used it the most frequent. The spanner can turn from U shape to V shape too.

Almost everything made from China, can't avoid. Will try SATA after I compare the price in Lion land when I go later this year. Tools is a wants, not a must for the time being

Even I look as far as Japan for quality tools, there is no more. Just get the Japan brand. Doesn't matter where it make.

I use as small as 5.5, 6, 7.......

Most of the tools is Japan. Last for more than 20yrs and still using.

yea yea yea yea yea....

Yes. So far japanese brand like sunflag their quality is good. Their screw bits are still made in jp.

Sunflags have limited tools right? mainly on hand use, not on powertool and drills.

If you guys want to have a look at jp tools, Pusat Bandar puchong, Tesco side, maybank roll shop. Shop name KTC. They are selling mainly japan tools.

Yes. Their more on handtools n some accesories.
I used their screw bit with my bosch impact driver. Long lasting n anti rust. Didnt strip any screw heads before.

Hi bro,

Wondering is the model outdated or latest version?

Latest wan uses 18v... gsb 18-2-li

get the new Bosch GSR 1080-2-LI. at less than RM300 it's a bargain. the 14.4 and 18v models is quite big. well it's big to me. but some people might find the impact capability a good thing to have. just don't expect much from a cordless impact drill though.

i find the 14.4 and 18v too big and hard to move around, especially when you have to bring it up and down the stairs, inside the roof structure and the such.

it's not unusual. i have an air compressor too. together with a hvlp and lvlp system.

yet i don't spend hundreds on socket and wrenches. frequently used sockets yes i buy good quality ones. but less frequent ones i use average quality. usually king toyo or similar grade which could be had for very cheap.

It is same thing. Some country will have different model name. Small change but overall same.

10.8v is consider old model.

it's not. it's a new model, with less features. hence it could be sold for less than RM300. i bought the original 10.8 for RM500-ish.

the 14.4 is 1.3kg, the 18v is 1.4kg. the 10.8 is only 1kg. and there's no bulging battery that sticks out from the hand grip. for some usage in a small space, like assembling kitchen cabinets or inside a drawer it makes a lot of difference.

I mean the battery voltage. 10.8v is old. Which mostly already upgrade to at least 12v.

I have this set from the first model which many yrs back. Very handy. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2234276/+40?hl=Bosch

I wonder what's the difference between the 500 vs 300 model
See the two links I posted above

gsb 10.8v is old...
gsr 10.8v is new..

the 2 gsr frm the links, one is old one is new...
both spec a bit different...
the other got LED light punya la..
battery also different design....
